so I have some really interesting

information on what happens when your

body starts drying out I’m talking about

dry skin like dry hands let’s say your

hands are getting dry and wrinkly or

let’s say for example you have a dry

mouth or dry eyes what is behind this

dryness okay there’s multiple causes

let’s start with your skin so if people

have dry skin they usually take some

type of moisturizer to counter it but

what happens after about five or six

minutes is all of a sudden it’s dry

again so they need this moisturizer over

and over and over you have to realize

that whatever’s in that cream goes

directly into your skin into your

bloodstream into the liver and other

organs so if there’s petroleum if

there’s chemicals it’s going right

inside your body and unfortunately a lot

of these moisturizer creams actually end

up drying you out because they have

certain things in them like alcohol

either consumption of alcohol or in a

cream can make you dry from the inside

out then we have petroleum products

right so you have to start reading the

label on your creams and avoid anything

with petroleum medication psych drugs

high blood pressure medication there’s

actually over 500 drugs that have as

their symptom dry skin if you’re a

diabetic you’ll have a tendency to have

more dry skin mineral oil which is not

good to be either in your products

topically or taking internally an

autoimmune condition Lupus can also

affect your eyes mouth but definitely

dry skin and dry hair

um if you have City Water okay and you

don’t have spring water and you don’t

have a filter you get fluoride you get

chlorine all sorts of chemicals that

will just completely dry your skin out

not to mention drinking tap water can

make you dry from the inside out so you

have to realize that because you have

dry skin it’s not necessarily something

you’re putting on topically it could be

something you’re taking internally now

the other elephant in the room is soap

and excessively washing your hands or

using some type of detergent

detergents pull out oils okay so you’re

going to basically pull out all these

really important oils in your skin like

vitamin A vitamin D vitamin E and many

other oils that are not vitamins but are

essential fats that you need to keep

your skin of a certain moisture now if

you have gut issues okay that can

actually create all sorts of skin

problems one being dry skin so if you

have dry skin and you have a cup problem

I would start taking a probiotic and you

probably will see changes within weeks

now the liver is a really important

organ in relationship to your skin your

skin is a good reflection of what’s

going on in your liver if you have liver

cirrhosis inflammation in the liver if

you have a fatty liver you’re going to

have some skin issues and dry skin is

definitely one of them because think

about what your liver does with fat

soluble vitamins I mean it’s a key organ

to help you store some of these fat

soluble vitamins like vitamin A for

example that relates to the eyes so

let’s shift from the skin to dry eyes if

your eyes are dry the most likely cause

is a vitamin A deficiency I remember I

used to have dry eyes really bad

um to the point where my eyes were

sticky it affected my vision and one

time I opened my eyes and it tore my

cornea so I had a long history of

problems with my eyes especially being

dry and of course I had a gallbladder

problem for 20 years had no clues my

gallbladder gallbladder problems refer

pain to the right shoulder right and

when you have a gallbladder problem many

times you’re deficient in bile and you

can’t absorb the fat soluble vitamins

and vitamin A is one big one and so you

may notice this either in dry eyes or a

lack of vision in the evening when it’s

dark when you’re trying to drive also

vegans who don’t consume saturated fats

tend to have a problem with their bile

and gallbladder issues because the bile

is triggered by saturated fats so if you

don’t trigger the production of bile you

could end up with a deficiency of a bile

and also a deficiency of these fat

soluble vitamins which by the way since

we’re on the topic of vitamin A let me

just talk about this this is a very

important point you have what people

think is vitamin A which is

beta-carotene because they call it

vitamin A but beta-carotene is only a

precursor or vitamin A so when you see

this you know orange or yellow carrot or

yams or other plants that is loaded with

beta-carotene egg yolks also have

beta-carotene by plant sources don’t

have the active form of what

beta-carotene turns into which is

retinol so what you have to realize is

that even though they call beta-carotene

vitamin A it’s really not the active

form it has to be converted and the

percent of conversion is really small

it’s like three percent so don’t expect

to get your retinal active form of

vitamin A from Plants it’s just it’s

nearly impossible as a side note egg

yolks also have beta-carotene as well as

retinol so they have both but the point

is you need retinol to prevent dry eyes

the best source of retinol which is the

active form of vitamin A it’s liver

egg yolks and cod liver oil so typically

you can have dry eyes from either

something lacking in your diet or

usually it’s a gallbladder problem also

realize that your microbes make a

secondary type of bile salt

and you could be deficient in those

microbes and that could be the reason

why you’re not pulling this vitamin A

into your eyes the next point I want to

bring up about dryness in your body and

I’m talking about skin dry mouth and dry

eyes

has something to do with menopause let’s

say you are going through menopause and

you have this hormonal shift typically

what happens you have a decrease of

estrogen but you have a a more

significant decrease in progesterone so

we have this major drop in progesterone

and this drop in estrogen that’s not as

low so the ratio is really low

progesterone to high estrogen but it’s

really not too high but just the ratios

are off these ratios can greatly affect

your skin they can affect your collagen

but they will usually make your skin

very very dry this is why women after

menopause notice that their skin is so

dry and they start using all these

creams and it doesn’t seem to work and

the skin sometimes looks wrinkly on

their hands or their face so this is

what I recommend you do you could take a

progesterone cream and put into your

skin and see good results but I think

another thing you may want to try first

would be to take a DHEA product okay

it’s a natural product you can take

which is kind of like a building block

for these hormones to tend to boost them

up it’s kind of like the raw material to

build up more progesterone as well as

estrogen and other hormones too like

cortisol and testosterone things like

that so if you were to take that as a

supplement not a lot you just need a

little bit because if you take too much

you know you can actually raise hormones

higher than it should be the last area I

want to talk about is dry mouth okay

what can cause dry mouth more

specifically than what I already talked

about if your body is producing less

than 0.1 milliliters of saliva per

minute you will fit in the category of a

deficiency of saliva which is going to

cause dry mouth now here’s one little

side note your saliva makes certain

things like sodium bicarbonate which is

baking soda to help buffer the acids in

your mouth and so there’s a lot of

benefits to having enough so lava that

can help prevent cavities to help

prevent tartar that I did a whole video

on in the past

antibiotics okay can create a dry mouth

antibiotics can increase your risk of

getting candida which can also give you

a dry mouth and then if you’re consuming

sugar that feeds the candida it just

will never go away so if you have

candida you absolutely positively need

to get rid of all sugar in the diet and

that will greatly help you all right

next one is stress stress can really

alter the salivary glands I know in the

past when I had a great fear of public

speaking and I had to speak wow my mouth

got so dry I couldn’t even talk so

there’s a fact of being in the flight or

fight mechanism and having this stress

or high levels of cortisol and

adrenaline in relationship to what that

does to your salivary glands and

creating dry mouth so supporting the

adrenal glands and overcoming this fear

of public speaking could be very

beneficial all right there’s also a

situation if you had

kobit for example okay or even taking

certain vaccines that relate to that

virus can give you dry mouth as a side

effect and the mechanism usually

involves a deficiency of zinc so without

enough zinc you could have dry amount as

well all right we already talked about

drinking alcohol that can dry you out I

mean think about when you wake up in the

morning you’re completely dehydrated you

might have a headache and you’re

definitely going to have a dry mouth

going to the dentist and getting a

fluoride treatment because you want to

make your teeth whiter or having extra

fluoride in your toothpaste can also

affect the microbiome in your mouth and

create dry mouth the last thing which is

probably the most important thing is

your diet if you are on a high carb diet

you’re going to notice you’re going to

have more of a dry mouth so of course

the thing to do is to go low carb all

right so I’ve given you a lot of things

to think with whether you have dry eyes

a dry mouth or dry skin and I’m going to

put some links down below to more

specific videos if you have a dry mouth

or dry eyes but as far as a remedy for

dry skin I have a new combination that I

would highly recommend you try it’s

combining two things lanolin with

vitamin E oil what is lanolin that is a

natural substance that sheep produce

that keep their skin and wool nice and

protected and you can get this as a

natural product okay then you can put on

your skin it works great for dry skin

now I will say there’s a a little bit of

a scent to it that you may not like but

it’s not that bad but it’s very very

natural if you get the natural one

without the detergents the deodorizers

the alcohol that they normally put in

there so just get something very very

natural and then put a little bit in a

dish with a couple drops of natural

vitamin E oil mix it up good and rub

that into your hands

in other parts of your body and you’re

going to notice a great moisturizer

effect especially in the winter and I

think you’ll really like the solution

now if you haven’t seen my other video

on what to do for dry hands I put that

video up right here it’s been very

popular check it out
